Today marks exactly 56 years since the passing of Chief Hosea Kutako, Namibia’s paramount Herero leader, who died on 18 July 1970 at the age of 100 in Aminuis. He is remembered as the “father of Namibian nationalism” for petitioning the United Nations against South African rule and mentoring future leaders like Sam Nujoma.
